Cartea The Hero Paradigm in Fantasy Novels este una interdisciplinară și se înscrie în perimetrul studiilor culturale literare, cu descinderi în mitologie, antropologie culturală, şi studiile filmului. Tipologia eroului este analizată aşa cum apare în mitologie şi basm, înainte de a fi investigate romanele fantastice scrise de J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis și J.K. Rowling, romane de secol XX ale căror rădăcini se regăsesc în cele două genuri precedente ale modului literaturii fantastice. Aceleaşi romane au fost ecranizate, trecând din modul lecturii în cel al vizualului şi chiar în cel al virtualului (al jocurilor video/pe computer). Cartea argumentează că eroii par să se afle în cădere liberă de-a lungul secolelor, ajungându-se la o epocă posteroică în secolul al XX-lea. Însă literatura fantastică și filmele bazate pe astfel de romane par să înlocuiască mitologia și eroismul tipic acesteia, reușind să insufle un nou interes în paradigma eroică.

Everyone recognizes characters such as Luke Skywalker, Aragorn, Harry Potter or the heroes of numerous comics and films, such as Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man, but not everyone knows that the adventures, lives, and paths of these modern science-fiction and fantasy heroes were all largely inspired and influenced by ancient heroes from myths and legends, the heroes of Greco-Roman mythology or the famous British leader King Arthur. In this thesis, the influences and similarities between modern science-fiction and fantasy heroes and the fantastic stories of the lives and deeds of these archetypal "ancient" heroes will be discussed. Is there a universal pattern? Can we find common characteristics between these heroes? How important are myths and ancient stories when creating a heroic character? These are just some of the questions that are explored. I will focus on Joseph Campbell's notion of the "Monomyth" and his ideas of the "Hero's Journey" or "Hero Cycle" as well as past and contemporary ideas on what it takes to be considered a "hero". I also examine the works of Carl Gustav Jung and Northrop Frye and their views on archetypes. My goal is to identify the connections between ancient and modern heroes by showing how ancient stories and legends influence modern authors and movie directors such as George Lucas, J. R. R. Tolkien, Bob Kane, Jerry Siegel and Stan Lee when creating their own heroic characters.

The Shape of Fantasy is an in-depth look at Heroic Epic Fantasy. It depicts structural and narrative patterns with models stemming from science and philosophy. Although Fantasy Fiction is generally defined by its impossibility, Fantasy Fiction not an illogical form. It is, in fact, governed by a sense of rules and structure, one that reflects our current understanding of space-time and cosmology. These models are an integral part of the structure of Heroic Epic Fantasy itself. Thus, this book introduces new ways of perceiving current productions of the Fantasy genre. In doing so, it also explores how Fantasy Fiction exhibits a conscious awareness of its own form.

This handbook is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive overview of fantasy outside the Anglo-American hegemony. While most academic studies of fantasy follow the well-trodden path of focusing on Tolkien, Rowling, and others, our collection spotlights rich and unique fantasy literatures in India, Australia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia, China, and many other areas of Europe, Asia, and the global South. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fantasy, broadening and modifying existing definitions to accommodate the global reach of the genre. The second part contains essays illuminating specific cultures, countries, and religious or ethnic traditions. From Aboriginal myths to (self)-representation of Tibet, from the appropriation of the Polish Witcher by the American pop culture to modern Greek fantasy that does not rely on stories of Olympian deities, and from Israeli vampires to Talmudic sages, this collection is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in fantasy fiction and global literature.

The dynamic formed between the Hero and his companion is central to any work of fiction. It is my contention that just as the figure of the Hero represents an archetype of the human consciousness, so do the heroic companions represent different aspects of a whole personality. This thesis will examine these archetypes as they appear in three works of heroic fantasy, specifically Chrétien de Troyes' "The Knight with the Lion," J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy, ̲T̲h̲e̲̲ ̲̲L̲o̲r̲d̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲t̲h̲̲e̲ ̲̲R̲̲̲i̲n̲g̲s̲, and the contemporary fantasy series ̲T̲h̲e̲ ̲W̲h̲e̲e̲l̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲T̲i̲m̲e̲ by Robert Jordan. The examples provided by these works demonstrate that the Hero's boon companions--the Rascal, representing exterior desires and ethical fluidity; and the Reliant, representing thoughtfulness, logical intellect, and social responsibility--both embody and reflect aspects of the hero, providing useful insights into the heroic archetype.
